Salt Lake PArk Cache (Possible spoilers)

[Barrelz]

So. I can see that there is a cache of a lot of things right at the beginning of the map, in that small building. Perception indicates that it needs some pretty hefty explosive power to open the doors, lockpicking will not work.

Tried grenades all the way upto RPG. So, i know it cant be taken out by anything i have available.

However, when i return to leave the map. There are robots with a mason cannon. First thought was hack the mason. Nope, not even a level ten computer science will help. I can use mechanic, but that wont help. So, i am thinking.... Do i need to eliminate the worker bots, and then use one of my people as bate for the mason cannon and get it to blow up the door?

I have never been shot by a mason, but considering it takes several turns to warm up its weapons, how is this going to turn out? Hahaha


Is there another way of getting these doors open?

Im guessing there must be some pretty cool stuff in there.

ANy advice will be appreciated.

Gave it a go. Hypothesis proven and ralphy is still alive. Woohoo.

that one has some OK tier armor and weapon, a similar one down south at Long Beach Has Higher tier weapon drops random.

There are two of those kinds of caches, and yes having the meson cannon shoot you right in front of it will open the door. Somebody in a different thread said a proton axe or hammer can also destroy the door but I have not tested this myself

The type of door you speak of can also be openned with a plasma hammer.

I hear the proton axe can also be used but don't quote me on that one.

Along with the mason cannon, these two (maybe three) are the only things that can open these types of doors.
P.S. There's at least one other one of them out there that I know of.

Hmm, I was told a rocket launcher could open the door but I tried one once and it didn't work.

Yes, to quote the wiki;
"The small building right next to the entrance might seem tempting, but Rangers will quickly realize that the door lock is made of divine matter and the door itself is from the hardest metal known to man, impervious to brute force or explosives."

Unless of course that explosive is in the form of a meson cannon blast or the brute force is wielding a plasma hammer (...or possibly a proton axe, but like I said that one need to be checked up on).

right. well i have stumbled across the second one. Once again it has a mason cannon and robots around it. Funnily enough i am actually sticking up for the children in the citadel in this scenario. If only they knew hahahahaahaaaaaaa (actually i can tell them in dalogue but they are a little op for me at the moment and i would much rather fight robots)


I actually have a player who has a proton axe, so i will report back if it works. If not then poor ralphy is gonna become bait again. Poor guy really gets abused in my squad.

Well, at least his momma will be pleased he's being of use.

Didint get a chine to try the axe. Used mason cannon again, so i am afraid i cant shed light on weather the proton axe will work. On a side note, i did try and use the proton axe to break down a door in hollywood. It wouldnt even try, not even with free aim. Had to shoot the door instead, so theres that.

Proton Axe works as well to open those doors.

[aarundel]

There are three ways to open those type of doors get aimed by Mason canon which is too slow and hard cause they get destroyed before even they shoot you once. The other way is to to melee it with high end melee weapon Proton Axe or Plasma Hammer

[cazalot]

Verifed that the proton axe works
